Shownotes    

"The Chronicle RV pressure monitor produces data that correlates well with LV filling pressures, an important indicator of the patient's clinical status. Weekly uploads of the data allowed ambulatory monitoring of a group of 25 patients waiting for heart transplants. These patients were followed for an average og 9.5 months. Examples of findings in this cohort include 1) 40% of patients admitted to the hospital acute decompensation were in AF, 2) evidence of lack of medication compliance, 3) monitoring the results of medical therapy and 4) sleep apnea syndrome wasdetected in 30% of these patients."
